Church blasted for not halting services

Here's another #1 smash from the album Lockdowns For Thee, Not For Me.

Solid Rock Church is a megachurch along I-75 north of Cincinnati known for its giant Jesus statue. A similar statue caught on fire there a few years ago, and the church spent a huge sum of money replacing it.

Now the church is refusing to stop holding services despite the risk of conservavirus. Many congregations have suspended services. But Solid Rock refuses to quit, which enables hundreds to sit elbow to elbow with potentially infected fellow worshipers.

The Butler County Health Department and a religious group called Faithful America are highly displeased at the church's actions.

And get this. Ohio recently imposed martial law against gatherings - but made an exemption for religious services. Why??? Why does religious privilege get to rule?

And how does any private group of a few people pose a health risk if a packed church full of hundreds doesn't? This is more proof that the official response to conservavirus often has nothing to do with science. If it did, we'd have our tests we were promised over a month ago.
